Audio Player Block – Play Audio Beautifully on Any Page vs Meow Gallery

Give your visitors a beautiful listening experience – add a stylish audio player with playlists and cover art to any post or page, no code required. Get Pro Version | Support Why Audio Player Block?

Audio Player Block replaces it with a polished, customizable player that fits your design – complete with track titles, artist names, and cover images. Add multiple audio tracks to build a playlist, or select a single file for a simple standalone player. Smart play/pause control plays one track at a time and automatically pauses the others, so overlapping audio never happens. Everything is configured right in the Gutenberg editor, and shortcode support lets you place the same player anywhere on your site. Free Features Multiple Audio Management: Easily add or remove multiple audio tracks with full control over your playlist. Track Details Input: Set a custom title and artist name for each track to keep your content well organized. Cover Image & Audio Upload: Upload audio files along with a cover image for a more engaging, visual player.
